Finally a Protein Drink I can handle!



Recommended Posts

Nectars by Syntrax has Protein Powder that has juice flavors. So far I have tried fuzzy navel and it is good. I mixed it with Water and crystal light. Definitely a break from milk based Protein Drinks. Vitamin Shoppe, Amazon, bariatric pantry, and of corse the syntrax website all carry it, check it out.

My dietician recommended MuscleMilk Lite chocolate. Today was my first day to try it. Only allowed 4 oz (bottle is 8 oz), tasted good enough (after 2 weeks of clear liquids), and no running to the bathroom. It is like chocolate milk, but it is supposed to be formulated to be tolerated by lactose intolerant people. So far so good. They are pre-made and are 4 to a pack.

She also recommended platinum hydro-whey turbo chocolate. I haven't tried that one yet. It is a powder to be mixed with Water.

I also drink Isopure.. any flavor has 160 cals, 40gms Protein, 0 carbs. I buy it at GNC. I stock up when they reduce them to 1/2 price due to the expiration date. It usually has 2 months to expire.

I like pineapple orange banana , alpine punch and grape frost..

I also like the grape protein blitz...

Once in awhile I drink a strawberry banana protein shot( protein to go)

128 cals, 28gms protein and 5 carbs. Comes in 2.5 fl oz container. I buy them at Walgreens.

Has anyone tried the Designer whey "Protein 2 Go"? It's like a crystal light with 10g of Protein. I haven't bought it yet' date=' and was hoping for a review or two :)[/quote']

Hi All' date='

I'm fairly new to the boards and just started my pre-op diet today. I will be sleeved on 1/8/12-- whoo hoo!!! I cannot tolerate milk or milky substance things so I knew this whole Protein shake thing was going to be a challenge. So after much research I think I found something AWESOME! The "proteinblitz" by designer whey is brand new & 30g Protein, 1carb, 120 calories, & 1g sugar. When cold it tastes like grape kool-aid.

Enjoy!! Please share if you've found something you think is "non-milky" and good also.[/quote']

I personally like Syntrax nectar. I googled them as a sample packs and I got to taste every flavor and decide which ones I like and which ones I do. Mayne try thst route as well. I mix all mine with Water as I dont like the milkyness either

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
